Shattered Windows by Deborah L. Fruchey

“Care for a tour through the landscapes of a woman’s heart? Here’s your ride.

“Deborah Fruchey’s Shattered Windows presents us with a chorus of women’s voices: some hers, some imagined, some in-between. These short pieces are a trek through many hearts, each unique and somehow so familiar. One page captures keenly drawn despair…while the next is charged with hope…Then we turn the page for more. Fruchey observes each without judgment and with empathy aplenty. Each scenario, each emotion, each person here feels true and painted with a knowing eye.”

—Richard Loranger, author of Mammal and Unit of Agency
